Salted Egg Yolk and Bacon Zongzi
1.
Soak the glutinous rice for two hours to half of the time, filter out the water, add soy sauce and oyster sauce and continue to soak overnight
2.
Then stir in the bacon cut into small pieces, the fatter one
3.
These are the first two salted egg yolks I pickled. The salt shells are washed off, and they are crystal clear
4.
The plug-in is on! Call everyone the pyramid-shaped zongzi-first, the two leaves are rotated 90 degrees in opposite directions (forgive me for freeing one hand to take pictures...)
5.
Put in a little bit of rice to plug the sharp corners, then put in the salted egg yolk
6.
Stuffed with glutinous rice and bacon
7.
Cover with a zong leaf
8.
Fold the top and bottom to the middle (forgive me for taking pictures with one hand)
9.
Fold the rest to the middle, maybe one more layer
10.
Then tie it up. If you are not a late-stage obsessive-compulsive disorder like me, just tie it up. If you happen to be just like me, you must be symmetrical and beautiful... Then tie it like this. The language is not easy to express, and the solid geometry is well practiced. Know it right away~
Tips:
1. For the taste, bacon one! set! want! fat!
2. Oyster sauce is not available or can be left alone. I think oyster sauce has a special sweetness and put it (Oyster sauce has a shelf life of two years and I thought mine was overdue and scared me...)
3. It is best to use fresh zong leaves concave shape. The fluff behind the fresh leaves is not very slippery. I used dried zong leaves last year, and I couldn’t take pictures at all.
4. The language of binding is difficult to describe. The secret is "wind up left, clockwise" (private chat that I really want to figure out~)
